The author of the million-copy best-seller Ageless Body, Timeless Mind emerges as a powerful new force in fiction with a luminously written novel about the final act of the Arthurian legend playing out in modern England. The Return of Merlin is a brilliantly realized narrative that begins in Arthurian times and jumps boldly to our own 20th-century dark age of war, pollution, predation, and hatred--with a message of hope.

From the Publisher:

Deepak wrote THE RETURN OF MERLIN out of his great love of the Arthurian legends, which he became enamoured of growing up in India. THE RETURN OF MERLIN is an entertaining contemporary adaptation of the Merlin legend that contains spiritual wisdom with a quintessential Chopra-like, Vedic slant. Deepak's unique view of Arthurian magic and transformational energy give rise to some lovely passages of philosophical teachings that I even copied and carried around with me. Out of the enjoyable experience of writing this novel arose Deepak's instructional fable, Way of the Wizard.

From the Inside Flap:

Some legends endure the effects of time, reaching back to the mystery and the magic of a place and a people whom we know are part of who we are today. Camelot is such a legend and the mist shrouded fields, the ancient stone walls, the graceful figures of Arthur and Guinevere are the touchstones that connect us to purity of the heart and a sense of honor that knows no fear of death. In The Return of Merlin, Deepak Chopra, author of numerous bestsellers, proves a born storyteller. Although a book of incandescent fiction, The Return of Merlin is rich with the spiritual themes identified with Deepak Chopra: the hidden possibilities of wonder in the everyday world, the peace that lies behind the infinite masks of change, and the miraculous transformations made possible by shifts of perception. The message Merlin delivers is that "we can dream a new world from the purity of our own hearts." The rebirth of Camelot becomes vision and prophecy.
